This code snippet is attempting to interact with an alert popup, not a browser authentication popup. Browser authentication popups are not standard HTML alerts and cannot be interacted with in the same way.

To fill a browser authentication popup with credentials using Selenium in PHP, you can use the `Alert` interface provided by Selenium. Here is an example code snippet to achieve this:

php
$driver->get('http://username:password@example.com');

// This will navigate to a URL with the credentials embedded in the URL

// Alternatively, you can use the following code to handle the authentication popup
$driver->switchTo()->alert()->sendKeys("username" . Keys::TAB . "password" . Keys::ENTER);


In this code snippet, we are navigating to a URL that includes the credentials in the URL itself. This is a common way to handle browser authentication popups in Selenium. Alternatively, you can use the `sendKeys` method on the alert to send the username and password separated by a tab key and then press enter to submit the credentials.

Please note that handling browser authentication popups in Selenium can be tricky and may not work in all cases. It is recommended to avoid using browser authentication popups if possible and use other authentication methods in your application.
